    We take of those things we are grateful for and put “value” on. I am truly grateful for this beautiful planet we live in. Oregon has some wonderful state parks I am grateful for and want to preserve. I am grateful to have a partner, husband to share outdoor experiences with.

    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    I had a meatless day. I actually could give up beef. In terms of impact on thee environment, cattle have the biggest effect.

    At our church today we used only reusable plates and cutlery. My partner took the coffe grounds home to put in her compost. I reused the containers from the store to bring left overs home.

      Walking together was great! I am thinking we could leverage this as both a prayer walk, fellowship walk or get together time.
